Progress was made on the bridge this week…looking forward to having it opened back up! Thanks, MoDOT!

07/22/2026

Thursday, July 23rd Fair Winds Guests…please note the closure for a couple of hours on the detour route.

7/20/2026

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!

White River, Oren Martin, and a portion of Hobo Road will be used as a bypass until MoDOT can repair the bridge on Highway 49. We are being told that this may take several months to be completed.

With the notable increase in traffic on the bypass roads the county will need to do scheduled maintenance. This maintenance will be done on Thursday July 23rd from 9:00am-12:00. During this three hour window no traffic beside emergency services will be allowed on the bypass roads.

The reason why we need to close the roads during this time is for the safety of our road crew and equipment. With the increased traffic, narrowed roads, hills, and blind corners we cannot ensure the safety of our crew.

We will have multiple personnel and pieces of equipment operating at the same time to get this done as quickly as possible.

Please make plans to avoid this area during the temporary closure. And we apologize in advance for any inconvenience.

Thank You
District 1 Commissioner
Mark Pfeiffer

Please keep the family of Faith Gregory in your prayers. Thanks to all who have been praying for our little community down here in Cherryville/Davisville. ❤️

MEDIA RELEASE

The Crawford County Sheriff’s Office is providing an update regarding today’s flood-related search operation.

It is with deep sadness that we report the missing victim has been located deceased approximately 1.8 miles downstream from her residence in the Huzzah Creek.

At approximately 1130 hours volunteer searchers located the victim, Faith Gregory and immediately notified law enforcement personnel assigned to the search operation. Members of the Missouri State Highway Patrol, Crawford County Sheriff’s Office, Steelville Fire Protection District, Quad County Fire Protection District, and the Crawford County Coroner responded to the scene to recover the victim.

This is not the outcome that any of us were hoping for. Our thoughts and prayers are with Faith’s family, friends, and all those affected by this tragic loss.

The Crawford County Sheriff’s Office extends our sincere gratitude to the many volunteers, fire departments, law enforcement agencies, emergency responders, drone operators, and search personnel who dedicated countless hours to this search effort despite difficult and hazardous conditions. Your professionalism, teamwork, and commitment to serving others made an incredible difference throughout this operation.

We also want to express our heartfelt appreciation to the members of our community who generously brought food, water, and other refreshments to the scene for first responders. Your kindness and support during a difficult time were deeply appreciated by everyone involved.

While this search has come to a heartbreaking conclusion, it once again demonstrated the strength of our community and the willingness of so many to come together in a time of need.

Out of respect for the family’s privacy, no additional information will be released at this time.

Sheriff Darin J. Layman

GREAT NEWS CRAWFORD COUNTY! Equipment and supplies are being mobilized now so crews can begin work next week to repair the Dry Creek Bridge on Route 49 that was damaged in flooding early this month. The bridge is expected to reopen in mid- to late August.

ALERT CRAWFORD COUNTY – The bridge on Route 49 over Dry Creek is CLOSED due to flood damage. The roadway is unsafe for vehicular traffic and barriers have been placed for the safety of all motorists.

07/11/2026

The Friday night storms have wreaked havoc on the Cherryville area. Our Dry Creek bridge is closed until it gets fixed. The water came so fast and strong that it washed out the gravel beneath the pavement. If you are staying with us in the near future, I will be in contact with you about using an alternate route to reach us. Our cabins are fine and our creek and bottom pastures got a VERY good cleaning! Many people lost their homes due to the flooding and one woman, Faith, is still unaccounted for. Please pray for our area. ❤️
